EVANSVILLE, INâJohn Anthony Henneberger, of Evansville, Indiana, died on July 18 at his home in Oak Meadow at age 93. He was born in Mount Carmel, Illinois, the youngest of Lawrence Francis Henneberger and Elmima van Dyke Utter Hennebergerâs four children. As a child, he often sat on the curb in front of their home on East 4th, just off Main Street, and âspoke to everyone who passed by.â And the speaking-to-every-living-soul part became a life-long habit. John was educated at St. Mary's Elementary School, Mt. Carmel High School, Culver Military Academy, the University of Notre Dame and Indiana University, where he transferred after the attack on Pearl Harbor, because he hoped to join the Army Air Corps, and ND at that time had Navy but not Army ROTC. John had followed his two older brothers, Francis and Bob, to Notre Dame, where he was a government and history major, played on the varsity tennis team and was the only freshman soloist for the Notre Dame Glee Club. He also sang lead second tenor in the ND quartet and performed on the Bill Stern Sports Show at the premier of the movie âKnute Rockne All American,â where he met Carole Lombard, Clark Gable, Pat OâBrien, and his future favorite president, Ronald Reagan. At Indiana University, he joined Alpha Tau Omega fraternity and served as the groupâs song leader - a role that meant he led the serenade of any woman getting pinned to a fraternity brother. He enlisted in the Army Air Corps in November of 1942, flew the P-51 Mustang - a long-range, single-seat fighter bomber -- and never forgot the men with whom he served, many of whom died in Normandy. That was the first of many times he cheated death, the second being his head-on collision with an 18-wheeler swerving to avoid a tractor stopped in the middle of the road. That accident left him paralyzed for six months in his mid-twenties. After the war, he went into business with his brother Bob, an Army JAG whoâd been attached to a general hospital unit in Morocco and was in charge of booking USO shows for GIs still serving in Paris in the months after the liberation. Together, they opened the popular Sports Center on Mount Carmelâs Main Street, and along with their top saleswoman -- their aunt, Reba Reese, who lived with the family -- they sold not only sports and scouting equipment, bikes, trains, toys, dolls, guns and boats, but many of the major appliances that had been in short supply during WWII. After they sold the store in the 50s, John went to work with his father at Henneberger Service, Ice & Fuel Company, the oldest coal and home fuel oil distributor in the state. Originally, the business had delivered ice for home ice boxes on horse-drawn carts, and Johnâs first job was cleaning out the stalls for 10 cents an hour. Much (much) later, when he was running the business and the phone would ring in the middle of a winter night, Johnâs family knew that it was someone who was cold, in need of fuel, unlikely to be able to pay for it -- and that he would get up and deliver it himself, to avoid having to disturb an employee. When his father L.F. retired from the Mount Carmel bank heâd co-founded and run for many years, Security Bank & Trust Co., John joined its board of directors. He served in that capacity for the next 27 years, and went on to become president, CEO and chairman of the board. John revered both of his parents, and was probably proudest of the fact that during the 1930 run on the bank that temporarily closed Security, his father had been the last person to withdraw what was left of his money. John also inherited his love for the Chicago Cubs from his dad, who was married in October of 1908 and on his honeymoon took his bride to Chicago to see that yearâs World Series champions play. Before cable, John often spent summer weekend afternoons listening to Cub games in his car, or holding his transistor radio to his ear while he mowed, though how he could hear over the noise no one knew. He also took his family on several pilgrimages to St. Louis to watch the Cubs play the Cardinals and stay at the Chase Park Plaza, because the Cub players also stayed there and were beyond gracious about signing autographs and indulging pesky kids. One of the most treasured family photos among the thousands John spent time cataloguing in recent years was the snapshot of Ron Santo and Randy Hundley taken the day they gave a swimming lesson to his son John L. at the hotel pool. John Anthony, who was named for his uncle, Father Tony, was also a lifelong Notre Dame fan, of course, and in his last few days remarked that before he died he wanted to see their new football stadium -- âLetâs go for a week, and stay at the Morris Innâ -- and throw a couple of big dinner parties, one for his extended family, and another for all of those who had been so good to him while he was sick. A proud and occasionally loud conservative, he often stayed up late discussing politics with his siblings, chaired many local GOP committees and was active in and passionate about the right-to-life movement. John was also a past president of the Culver Military Academy Father's Board, where he received the outstanding service award, a member of the Culver Education Foundation, co-founder of the Mt. Carmel Little League, a charter member of the Wabash Valley Association, president of the Wabash Valley College Foundation, and for many years a trustee of St. Mary's Catholic Church, where he was baptized, catechized and confirmed, and was a Eucharistic minister and member of the Knights of Columbus. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Freida Lawrence Henneberger, a Kentucky native he met when she moved to Mount Carmel to teach high school in 1956. He proposed three weeks later, and they were married six months after that, in the parsonage of Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Heâs also survived by his two daughters, Melinda Henneberger (Bill Turque) of Kansas City, Joane Henneberger Pickett, (Wiley Pickett) of Los Angeles, three grandchildren, Della Lane and John Connor Turque-Henneberger and Wiley John Pickett, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his only son, John Lawrence Henneberger, who was killed at age 16 in a motorcycle accident, as well as by his parents and his siblings, Francis James Henneberger, Robert Lawrence Henneberger and Virginia Henneberger King. Lover of American and Roman history, picnics, the National Review and later Fox News, John Wayne, martinis, cream-filled long johns and rhubarb pie, he went out of his way for friends and strangers, visited his sister Ginny every day she was in the nursing home, and was always telling people what they were good at - âYouâre a great American,â heâd say. His favorite moments included his honeymoon in Jamaica, meeting Pope John Paul II in Rome with Melinda, watching the judging of Rose Bowl floats with Joane and Wiley and bird hunting with John L. Even during his final illness, he kept his sense of humor, excellent memory and love of words to live by, like, âDonât quit in the chasm,â âWhen you want to go fast, go slow,â and his #1 go-to, âFight on to victory.â A vigil will be held on Thursday from 4-8 p.m. at Browning Funeral Home, 738 E. Diamond Avenue in Evansville, with a rosary service at 7 p.m. His funeral Mass will be held at 10 a.m. Friday at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Daylight, Indiana, near where John and Freida moved after their retirement 17 years ago. In lieu of flowers, memorials should be sent to his parish, St. John the Evangelist, 5301 Daylight Dr., Evansville, IN 47725.
